With that in mind, allergic people will decide to get dogs that have shorter hair… a dog like the Entlebucher. Let’s review a few things about the coat of this breed: a native dog of Switzerland, they have a dense and short coat to help it be comfortable in cold temperatures.

These dogs do shed and a weekly brushing helps control that. But hair is not the main cause of allergies. It is dander that causes people to sneeze. Dander is like scales of dry skin of the dog that flake off and get swooshed by the air and eventually into the nostrils of people. So don’t make the mistake of getting an Entlebucher mistaking them to be hypoallergenic canines.

Avoid unnecessary vet bills! Do your dog’s basic health check!
